The Hypernetwork Society Research Institute is a research organization jointly established in 1993 by Oita Prefecture and major Japanese telecommunications and IT companies, and has been conducting public-interest research activities based on information and communications technology.

During the roundtable, the two institutions introduced their main research areas and exchanged views on how to apply AI-based technologies to address local environmental issues. In particular, they discussed a demonstration project using AI technology to reduce marine waste, with the Japanese side proposing the application of the technology in Busan.

Shin Hyunseok, President of the Busan Institute, stated, "On the occasion of the 60th anniversary of Korea-Japan diplomatic relations, cooperation between local research institutes is significant in itself." He added, "We hope to combine the technologies and experiences of both countries to solve regional issues and further expand into joint projects that can have a positive impact on the international community."
